I remember some of the things you said from your last post.

For God, using Dragonball Super Gods as an example is bad becuase it is a type/level of power that can be obtained and not a species. Even Zamasu was not considered a God until given the proper authority. Golden Freeza can compete with God-energy without being a god himself. The only Dragonball character that can be considered truly a God(at least in the Judeo-Christian sense) is Zen-Oh becuase he controls over all existence and is truly omnipotent. Which brings me to my next point:

The fact that Dante/Sparda who are half-demon/demon can compete with Mundus, who is supposedly a god really puts into question whether or not god is describing their species or their level of power. Mundus killed the fromer god of evil, it is highly suggestive that god is describing their level of power as opposed to their species. Does god describe characters who have god-like power/strength/abilities? is god a different species entirely? if so, does that make Mundus a God-demon hybrid

"They wielded strange powers and existed outside the concepts of right and wrong. Deities that were considered evil or pagan in the old world were, on Dumary Island, simply thought of as “other gods” – there were far too many of them to count. Rites performed in honor of these idols often resembled exorcisms and demon sealing ceremonies."

This passage from the game also highly implies that the gods of Dumary Island were actually demons, and the whole text of the history of Dumary Island is written in the context of their beliefs.

"Guidepost for the Hunter" and "Guidepost for the Protector" are names of the texts. Much like books, magazines, movies etc etc, the prepositions are left uncapitalized. Within the text for either of them, hunter and protector are left uncapitalized, meaning they are not official titles held within an organization.

The problem with the Protectorate is that niether the term nor the description are corroberated at all anywhere from the developers, games, or artbooks(im still trying to find out what 3142 says), which calls into question its legitimacy, especially because the guides are a 3rd party source tasked primarily with providing the best/fastest way to complete the game as opposed to convey story, ideas, or concepts. DMC2 itself had many oppurtunities to at least name the clan and it didn't. It is also very easy to see where assumption might have been made about the name and details of the clan because we only see 2 characters from the clan with the blood of the Devils, both of whom are women, and one of whom is described as a protector. For all we know that is Brady Guides summary of her character from playing the game rather than info from the devs/capcom itself. They even get the name of the island wrong so who is to say that there weren't some translation between Capcom and Brady?

Veteran game guide writer even says that changes can be made to a game before the guides release and information may not be updated. So even if they were told by Capcom at the time of writing the guide, Capcom may have scrapped that concept. http://mashable.com/2017/03/17/strategy-guide-how-its-made/#J7lHrYyxCOqV

Official would be the games, developers, any content the developers consider to be canon, artbooks, and Capcom as a company in that order as a Capcom representative has messed up DMC4's placement in the series on a previous occasion. Basically devs or the sources closest to them and the dev process should be taken into consideration 2nd only to the game itself as most official and all others should be made a note of rather than left to disappear or be considered official. We have done it on Nero's page.

There is misinformation on the wiki that should be corrected and cited. Masters of the Frozen Soil and Lightning Witch were incorrect and needed to be removed from the wiki if there was no evidence supporting such titles. This wiki has been around for quite some time and being free to edit, made it accurate especially when there wasn't anyone like us to do the proper research, and some stuff has been here so long that most of us have accepted them as truth, which is wrong. Unfortunately double-checking everything is an unreasonable task for 2 people(who are also unpaid lol), so we have to make corrections as we happen across them
